I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by Tilly

I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach by Allison and Wayne Marks! This book is about two kids named Jack and Jillian who enter a cooking contest together that will be live on TV. The person running the contest, Phineas Farnsworth III, is Jack’s idol. Jillian’s mom died, and Farnsworth really wants her to talk about it at the competition, but Jillian doesn’t want to. Farnsworth tries to get Jack to convince her, and Jack almost does it. But then he finds something out that turns him against Farnsworth. There’s a plot twist that’s really unexpected! I would probably rate this book 4/5 stars. I also really liked the recipes at the end of the book. I am going to make the rugelach! I think this book is perfect for kids who like stories about baking, kindness, and friendship!

Good read

Review by Penguinswaddle

Very sweet story. There really isn't anything jewish about it though. Rugeluch aren't specifically Jewish. It was a nice story but nothing about this book would inspire anything Jewish. I appreciated the fact that there was no romance between the main characters, just friendship.

The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by ChayaLeah

Quite exciting, I mean a pair of literal opposites paired up for a competition worth $150,000. A very good plot too. In conclusion I rather enjoyed the book. I recommend it to aspiring bakers.

A heart-warming story🍫🥐

Review by mrk324

This is a story about two kids named Jack and Jillian. They both write an essay about themselves and submit the essay in the contest. They are both selected to go on a baking show. The host of the baking show knows about Jillian and he knows her Mother died. He wants her to say it on T.V and she doesn't want to say it. Do Jack and Jillian win the contest? What do they make? Find out in the story, The 150,000 dollar Rugelach!!!!!

Review by rosegarden

I loved it!!! It was super exciting and near the end, I was on the edge of my seat! Also, I liked how they included recipes for chocolate rugelach, Butterscotch Basil Brownies and lemon bars.
